The Connection
Hey there! Welcome to The Connection.
My name is Lauren and I have been training dogs for years. Through my training sessions I often form connections from my clients/dog to things in the world of faith and family.
If you are not a person of faith, no worries! I wasn't at one point either so I promise you'll feel welcomed here! You might actually find this faith filled podcast refreshing since a conversation about God isn't being preached from a pulpit or conversed about in a pues. Just a dog trainer with mic and a whole lot of stories and experiences of "Connecting" to God and why the heck it even matters.
Are you a person who has a thriving faith, buckle up as we have hard conversations with the goal of digging our faith roots even deeper so we will be able to withstand the hardest of storms in life.
Are you a parent of little ones? If so, get ready to be poured into with encouragement and practical advice. (Advice that I have picked up from people who are much smarter than I. Honestly, half of my brain cells are fried from the sleepless nights and toddler tantrums, but I have always been able to regurgitate great content to others when I hear it.)
Not a parent? Don't you worry! Although often time I will be giving examples from my perspective from a mom of small children, the overall principles apply to anyone in any area of leadership. This is a place where we talk about discipline, why it matters, and how to get it right.
Dog lover? Yes! Let's go!
As owner of Rock Kennel Training, and serving pet owners for almost 15 years, I am continuously humbled with the fact that I don't know it all, however... I have accumulated years and years of experiences, data, trends, and stories that I hope help set you free.
I will also be talking extensively about my passion for balanced dog training (and if you're a "force-free warrior", please know you are loved despite our vastly different views of how to help a dog become the best version of themselves. I hope you'll stick around to hear a logical conversation seasoned with grace and empathy opposed to the conversations that left you with battle wounds from heated and hurtful arguments.)
All in all, thank you for joining me! I look forward to chatting with you every other Friday for heart felt stories, compelling and motivating content, and hopefully a chuckle or two as my dramatic, theatrical, and inner cheerleader self starts to sneak out.

What's your heart behind hosting? A clean house? A well trained dog?
In today's episode we talk about our motive to either BLESS others or IMPRESS others. As I walk through several scenarios throughout our fall hosing events this past year, I ask you to guess what my motive was and ideas on how to change it. I hope this episode encourages you as it convicted me. Heading into the holiday season with friends and family gathering more than normal, I'm praying this episode sets you free from the pressure to impress others! Instead, I hope you can bask in the joy of being motivated to bless.
